Helpful Score: 6

I don't know if the things this author alleges happened or not. We're not offered much in the way of proof, although there's a lot of hearsay and a certain amount of vague religious hysteria. The story I came away with was that of an unpleasant man with a pleasant writing voice who wants attention for something that he says happened to him.

I just don't believe that any of this happened. Perhaps if the writing had been better, or if this guy had been a bit more likeable and had not come off from the beginning as such a complete arrogant jerk, I'd feel different about it. As it is, I can understand, reading this, why his first wife left him with three kids he apparently wanted more than she did but had no clue how to care for. (I do feel sorry for the kids.) I was glad to finish the book to get away from this guy. He spent more time whining about his wife leaving him than he did giving a clear picture of his purported haunting.

I'm glad there's a line of people wishing for this book. It will be a pleasure to mail it out of my house.
